Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that burn in wildland vegetation, often in rural areas. They can spread rapidly, destroying homes, infrastructure, and natural resources. Climate change, drought conditions, and urban expansion into wildland areas have significantly increased wildfire risk across the western United States.
